Montreal's Victoire announced Monday that it has signed defender Kati Tabin to a two-year contract extension, keeping her with the team through the end of the 2026-2027 season.
Tabin, who played for the Victoire during the first two seasons of the Women's Professional Hockey League (LPHF), scored four goals and racked up as many assists in 28 games last season.
The 28-year-old athlete also delivered 26 hits, finishing second on the Victoire behind captain Marie-Philip Poulin. In 52 games with the Montreal team, she has scored five goals and nine assists.
'Kati is an invaluable part of our team, both on the ice and in the locker room,' said Victoire general manager Danièle Sauvageau in a press release.
'Over the past two seasons, we have seen tremendous improvement in her level of play. Her ability to contribute on both sides of the ice makes her an important part of our team, and we are delighted to have her back with us.'
Tabin was selected 30th overall in the inaugural PWHL draft in 2023. After a four-season university career with the Quinnipiac University Bobcats, she played for the Connecticut Whale and Toronto Six in the PHF.
'I am extremely happy to stay in Montreal and continue to represent this team and this city that I love so much,' said the Winnipeg native. 'We will continue to work hard as a group to win a championship for this city.'
Tabin is the ninth player signed for the 2025-2026 season for the Victoire. She joins defender Erin Ambrose and Amanda Boulier, goaltender Ann-Renée Desbiens, and forwards Marie-Philip Poulin, Laura Stacey, Kristin O'Neill, Maureen Murphy, and Lina Ljungblom.

PWHL Vancouver inks forward Hannah Miller as free agency opens
Toronto Sceptres' Hannah Miller (34) and New York Sirens' Alex Carpenter (25) battle for control of the puck during overtime PWHL hockey action in Toronto on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Arlyn McAdorey PWHL Vancouver has signed former Toronto Sceptres forward Hannah Miller as a free agent. The expansion team announced the deal Monday, the first day of the league's free agency window. The 29-year-old Miller has played two seasons in Toronto, and contributed 10 goals and 14 assists in 29 regular-season appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. She previously spent five seasons with the KRS Vanke Rays in Shenzhen, China. 'I'm truly honoured and very excited to be joining the team in Vancouver,' said Miller. 'It means so much to me to represent the city where I first fell in love with the game. It's a real full-circle moment, and I can't wait to meet all the fans and get started!' Internationally, the native of North Vancouver, B.C., represented China at the 2022 Beijing Olympics and scored the host country's first goal of the Games. Miller was named to Canada's roster for this year's women's world hockey championship in March, but was later ruled ineligible due to International Ice Hockey Federation transfer rules. 'Hannah is an elite forward who can put up points and wear down opponents,' said Cara Gardner Morey, PWHL Vancouver's general manager. 'We are excited to bring her home to Vancouver to be part of our foundation.' PWHL Vancouver will continue adding to its inaugural season roster with six picks in the 2025 PWHL Draft on June 24, including the seventh overall selection.
